I'll admit I'm not an INSIDE cat lover, - their hair makes my nose itch and I think they stink, especially when people have lots of them. I don't even want to sit down on their furniture. (putting on my flame proof suit now)
No grandfather clause, hmm. Their must be some reason the community has suddenly decided this? Do you know what, if any, problems the cats might be causing for anyone, or any of the wildlife, such as birds?
We DO have a cat, she lives at the barn and cons both my husband and me into feeding her by the way she acts, as if she's starving and no one has fed her on any particular day.
A Rancher I used to dig post holes for had about 78 cats around his barns and feed bins...only one male.
I agree it is probably an emotional problem. Empty nest syndrome, widowed, even a house fire. I've lost a lot and the cats are comfort. ?
Also, I don't know what to do with them. There is NO animal shelter around here. I know, unbelievable. The town's solution is to just kill them. They tell me to take them to a farm, but I don't know any farmers. The town refuses to help me find anyone who wants cats. I don't know where to send them. 3 stray brother cats just came to our house in August. It was like momma had told them where to go....

The town council refuses to tell me what the complaint against me cats is. If it was a specific cat or habit, I would immediately deal with it. But it seems silly to dump most of the cats on a farm only to find that the few I kept were the very ones that were the problem to whoever. Or not even my cat. These are LOCAL strays.
BTW, this town has lots of rodents. My cats killed 2 rats yesterday and another early this morning. I have collected a dozen dead rats in freezer bags in a freezer (not MY house) and I will take them to the town council meeting. What do you think of that idea?
I would sure appreciate prayers for me to find a place in the country to live in peace.
